So that walking in Rome is not very tiring, it is best to choose a hotel located in close proximity to the main attractions of the Eternal City. That is why BlogoItaliano decided to select the hotels in the center of Rome of the middle price category that received the most enthusiastic reviews from tourists on Booking.
Perhaps no one will argue that Rome, with its charming streets and squares, cobblestone pavements, ancient buildings and amazing fountains, is a great city for a romantic trip. And this time Blogoitaliano tried to select the most romantic hotels in Rome, a stay in which can turn a vacation with your beloved half into an unforgettable fairy tale.
Rome is the perfect place to spend your Italian holidays. Despite the fact that the city is not on the coast, travelers have plenty of opportunities to combine sightseeing tourism with a luxurious beach holiday. In the vicinity of the Eternal City there are many excellent beaches, the atmosphere of which in a few minutes will make you forget about the summer metropolitan heat.
Milan is located in the subtropical climate zone, which is typical of the inner plains of northern Italy, with fairly high humidity regardless of the time of year. However, due to the proximity of the mountains, there are elements of a continental climate characteristic of the foothills of northern Italy. As a result, the climate of the capital of Lombardy suggests hot humid summers and no less humid cold winters.
Italy is not a very large country, but the weather in the north and south of the Apennine peninsula can differ very dramatically at the same time of the year. The vagaries of the weather are explained both by the length of the country from North to South, and differences in the relief between the regions. Therefore, it makes sense to prepare for the trip in advance, having studied the conditions in that particular area that you are going to visit.
The fashionable ski resort of Madonna di Campiglio, located in the Italian Alps, is very popular with wealthy tourists who come here in winter and summer. In winter, it is attractive for skiers and snowboarders, and in summer the resort is visited by fans of fishing, mountain biking and hiking, because it is located in the picturesque Adamello-Brenta Natural Park.
The main Italian airline Alitalia is included in the cohort of the largest air carriers in Europe, and if you plan a trip to the Apennines, then with a high probability you will travel with just one of its sides. Therefore, BlogoItaliano decided to tell in detail both about the company itself and important nuances that are useful for future passengers to know.
Italy is not only beautiful nature, excellent beaches, theaters, museums, galleries, historical, cultural and architectural sights, but also excellent shopping. They go to Italy for fashionable clothes, high-quality shoes, exquisite jewelry and, of course, fur coats. Italian fur coats are famous for their excellent fur quality, great design, a wide variety of models, as well as adequate prices, which is good news.
Compared to Great Britain and Northern Europe, prices in Italy are lower, although relative to their neighbors in the southern part of the continent, they are very significantly higher. However, the trip can be reduced in price very tangibly, for example, by choosing a low season for the tour or “playing around” with the regions of the planned stay. Going to the North or to a large tourist city in Italy you need to be prepared for the fact that life here is more expensive than in the South or in the countryside.
Many travelers, traveling to Italy, plan to combine business with pleasure: gain experience, improve their health and, of course, pamper your wardrobe with many new things. Fur coats are not the last place in the long list of potential purchases: Italy is famous for its fur products, and prices are much lower than in Russia.
June in Italy is already the peak of the tourist season, when both the number of tourists and the price level reach their highest points. And although temperature peaks, as a rule, come here later, however, in June it is already quite hot throughout the country. Weather in June Although in recent years the weather in Italy in May is very similar to summer, the high summer season technically only begins in June.
Tourists to Italy are attracted not only by numerous attractions, natural beauties, festivals and carnivals, but also a great opportunity to replenish their wardrobe with new interesting things. Blogoitaliano already talked about the features of shopping in Italy in the article Shopping in Italy: what, where, when, now let's talk in more detail about sales.
Can you recall the colors of the Italian flag at random? Surely, several countries whose flags are familiar to you will come up in your memory. And it is most likely that Italy, with its green-white-red banner, will be among this group. After all, her flag is very often present in establishments selling Italian pizza, pasta or ice cream.
During the first part of the post, BlogoItaliano continues his journey through the largest island of Italy, trying to find the most worthy beaches. And Sicily is famous for them, like no other direction in Italy. It is not in vain that in our improvised ranking of the best beaches in Italy, the first three places occupied the coast from the homeland of the Mafia.
New Year's Eve in Italy is a great idea for a family holiday or for a romantic trip. The Italians are no less, and maybe even a little more, than the Russians, love all kinds of holidays and celebrate them merrily and on a grand scale, so you definitely will not be bored during the New Year holidays.
Rimini is located on the Adriatic Sea on the Padan Plain, surrounded by the foothills of the Apennines and the Alps. That is why the local climate cannot be unambiguously defined as Mediterranean or as continental: there are features of both. But one thing is certain: the weather was lucky for the residents and visitors of the city.
Traveling through the bright and sunny Italy, admiring the magnificent architecture and historical sights, enjoying the national cuisine and the beautiful weather, you involuntarily think about what to bring from this country to extend the charm of the trip, as well as to please relatives and friends.
The concepts of “trip to the Apennines” and “shopping in Italy” are inseparable, and a rare tourist will return home without buying anything. But unlike many other countries where it is customary to buy trinkets in memory of the trip, quite practical things can be brought from Italy, and some even manage to completely update the wardrobe during a short vacation.
Traveling in Italy is worth it to rent a car. How else to do it all at once: to see all the most famous sights, learn about the less known, but no less significant, bask on the beach, go skiing and stock up on outlets with outfits for the whole family? But along with traditional rental methods, there is one that so far only selected tourists use.
For people who do not care about the cold, winter can be a great time of the year to plan your trip to Italy. Winter in Italy is a classic “off-season”, which means not only a pleasant subsidence in housing and transport prices, but also far fewer visitors to museums and historical sites. This is the period when the theater and opera seasons are at their zenith.
